memario1214's JAFR Build

wut have you done? wut?

 

Haha truck is in the shop. Supercharger is getting rebuilt!

Yeah some of the wiring needs redone. Not sure what happened, but haven't had a chance to take care of them...

Negative! I'm back into shopping for another racecar... I'm not currently truck shopping.

 

Bout time I update this damn thing! A few things have gone down in the last few weeks. The big one was the supercharger rebuild! Expensive AF, but it just needed to happen... Had 60k on the blower before she decided that it was time for a rebuild.



Don't mind the hilariously dirty engine bay. I'll take care of that this spring. Either way, the nose drive seal went out, and was giving up fluid. It was only a matter of time before the bearing decided that it was tired, and gave up the ghost. So the teardown commenced... After pulling it apart it was determined that trying to rebuild that nose drive assembly would not be fun, and since my truck is the DD I didn't have a ton of time for it to be down for the count. I reached out to Magnuson who charged me a nice cool $500 for a new nose drive assembly. I no longer have a TRD nose drive though... I'll look into what it takes now to rebuild this OEM one. Also purchased a new URD 2.85" pulley to have a fresh new setup. Since we were in there I checked out the idler pulleys, and they were SMOKED. Replaced both of them as well. NAPA was very proud of them too BTW, pricey little bastards.

Took the whole blower apart inspecting the rotors, and the other interior components. Everything else looked A-OK!





I also finally decided to do something about the garbage Truxedo cover that I have had on the truck for quite a few years. Sprung on something I have been eyeballing for quite a while now. Looking forward to getting the use of the bedrail system back too.



There's a couple of other updates in the wings, but I am not ready to reveal them yet.

 

You're not the boss of me!

 

I don't know why you're putting all this money in the truck. Now that you're a real mod you gotta sell it, it's in the contract

 

They are a pretty angsty bunch. You never know what'll happen! Too bad this place isn't a democracy... All hail Bob

 

Look out!

 

Here's a hint... Not my Runner... And not the anticipated application

Haha shouldn't there be a token Tacoma owner mod in the bunch?

Thanks Josh! Appreciate ya

 

I left?

No, you left me!
